A personal confession by Marek of his love for photography:
My love affair with photography started 25 years ago when I bought my first 35 mm camera. The picture I saw in the viewfinder dramatically changed my perception of the surrounding world. And the first night I spent working alone in the dark room sparkled great excitement. In the light of the laboratory I saw newly appearing images which I was able to model and alter. At the same time it never occurred to me then that those first days with the camera and the magnifier will change the course of my life. I graduated from the University but my love for photography was so strong that I devoted all my time to exhaustive and creative study of photography. My participation in individual and collective exhibitions in Poland and abroad confirmed and tested my decision to dedicate my life to this Art and to remain good at it. The objects which I shoot are of great interest to me along with the challenge to create ambience and climate expressing attitude towards the object revealing its features and expressing different perspectives. Light manipulation which is the main factor in photography allows me to create new images of shapes and colours while my sole purpose is to find and show the observer my stylistic approach to the subject-matter of the photo. The photography I practice involves, besides the contractual tasks, permanent compromise between me and the client, and the object to be shot.
